Panini partnered with Kodak to put its new Panini Rewards Program together. Specifically, the Kodak Brand Protection Solutions team worked with Panini America to:

— Implement a high-resolution image-capture station giving collectors the ability to view memorabilia and autograph cards

“Panini America has been one of our valued customers for years, so we were eager to help them create and launch this program that’s such a big win for their customers,” said Pablo Biggs, director of brand protection solutions at Kodak.

Kodak has provided ultracovert brand protection solutions for the high-value collectable trading card line for the past six years.

Kodak offers brand protection solutions that can be integrated directly into the production and manufacture of the collectible items themselves. They range from visible overt identification or codes to ultracovert Kodak Traceless markers and readers.

There might be more fun places to work than MLB Network, but it’s a short list. If you don’t love baseball it’s probably not the place for you and so it might not come as a huge shock to know that the company’s offices in Seacaucus, NJ are lined with baseball cards. There are nearly 5,000 packed together—dating back to the 1950s.
